Scotland have their final match against Australia this weekend, with one name missing: Majid Haq. The offspinner, born in Scotland to Pakistani parents, was sent home early for a racial post on Twitter. This was likely in reaction to not being selected for the Sri Lanka match, which the Scots lost by 148 runs. The tweet from @MajidHaq read:“Always tougher when you're in the minority! #colour #race”The tweet has since been deleted.
